Jon Gosselin dropped from Jon & Kate Plus 8, tries to stop divorce

Jon Gosselin, The Marlboro Man of Mediocre Trim, has been axed from his own reality show which will now be called Kate Plus 8, according to Us Magazine:

It will continue to focus on the lives of the young Gosselin twins, 5, and 8-year-old sextuplets but with a deeper focus on Kate’s role as a single mother.
“Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family,” TLC president Eileen O’Neill said in a statement. “The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers.”
She added that the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.

Coincidentally, InTouch reports Jon has filed papers this morning to delay the divorce another 90 days so communication between him and Kate can improve:

“This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.” He also pleaded with her to set aside their anger so they can start interacting amicably. “I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting,” Jon tells In Touch. “Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it.”

Read: “Parents should really exploit their children as a team, and also, how the fuck am I supposed to bang marginally attractive women on ATVs without a reality TV gravy train? You’re killing me here.”

I, for one, am excited for the new season of John Minus Nine! The season opener should have him windsurfing, banging skanks, ATVing in national parks, and pounding shots of tequila in Cabo! You know, bachelor stuff. That would be an awesome show!

he shoulda stayed together with her for at least 2 more years and stash his money somewhere then leave her bitch-ass bitchass when shes not looking. now he got nothin cuz he spends his money on expensive tshirts and ugly argyle socks that look like ugly shoes…or is it the other way around? anyway. he will hang himself one day when he realizes he shuda just stuck around until hes ready to kill the bitch.

I know that no one really cares, but they have the ages of the kids bass ackwards – the sextuplets are 5, the twins are 8.

The only reason Jon wants to delay the divorce is so he can take half of Kate’s earnings for another 90 days. He probably spent most of whatever money he had on trips to the Hamptons with Hailey and Ed Hardy shirts. You don’t need to be married to work on your relationship as co-parents, in fact finalizing the divorce will probably help to further that along because all the stress associates with the divorce proceedings will be gone allowing everyone to focus on the new relatinship going forward.

By the way, despite the crazy reverse mullet which I hate, divorce looks good on Kate. She’s looking very cute and toned. Jon looks like he’s been drinking his weight in beer.

In other news, the word ‘douchebag’ is being retired in Jon Gosselin’s honor. A spokeperson for The Oxford Dictionary stated ‘Referring to anyone else as a douchebag would dilute the true meaning of the word. Therefore, we are recommending that the word be retired and be brought out of retirement for the sole purpose of writing it on his headstone.’

why doesn’t TLC just give up on it already. the only people interested in seeing this trainwreck of a family/show are people just like Kate or Jon, which clearly is a very small percentage of the US…it’s only a publicity ploy to try and get people to watch it again. won’t work. they need to let those children be children without cameras in their faces all the time. I guess they don’t get people WERE interested when they were BABIES. but how long can you drag a story out when there isn’t a story beyond ‘i planted a gazillion babies in my uterus now pay me’?

Jon is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but Kate is one hell on wheels bitch! A man can only take so much! How could they possibly stay together? He is willing to spend time with his kids. Let him, Kate! Kate is the money grabbing, “LET’S BE CHRISTIAN IF IT GETS US SOME BUCKS” role- model Mom.
